Primary care at home
Some patients cannot get to a clinic — and the ones who cannot are often the ones who most need seeing. For them, we bring the visit to the house.
A waiting room is the wrong setting for someone recovering from a hospital stay, using a wheelchair, living with advanced dementia, or for whom a single appointment means arranging transport, a family member's day off and two hours of exhaustion.
Home visits also show us what a clinic visit never does — what is actually in the medicine cabinet, whether there is food in the kitchen, whether there are stairs and grab bars and a rug waiting to cause a fall.
Who this is for
- Patients with limited mobility or who are effectively homebound
- Patients recently discharged from hospital, in the window where readmissions happen
- Patients managing several chronic conditions at once
- Older adults for whom travel is genuinely difficult or unsafe
- Patients whose caregivers cannot manage regular clinic transport
What a home visit includes
The same care as an office visit: examination, a review of every medication in the house, chronic condition management, orders for labs and imaging, referrals, and coordination with specialists and family. We can draw blood at the house. We talk with whoever is caring for you, because they are part of the plan.
Common questions
What areas do you visit?
We serve the Las Vegas Valley. Call us with the address and we will tell you directly whether you are in our area.
Does insurance cover home visits?
Medicare and many plans cover home-based primary care when a patient meets the criteria. We review your specific coverage before the first visit so you know what to expect.
Is this the same as home health or hospice?
No. Home health sends nurses and therapists for a defined episode of care; hospice is end-of-life care. This is your primary care provider seeing you at home instead of at the office — ongoing, for as long as you need it.
Can family be present?
Yes, and we encourage it. Caregivers usually know things the patient does not think to mention.
This is not for emergencies
If you are having chest pain, difficulty breathing, sudden weakness or numbness, trouble speaking, severe bleeding, or any symptom that frightens you, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. Do not use this website, and do not wait to see if it passes.
